Customer Service from poor to GREAT
Very Poor Customer Service I have a Yarbo (snow blower, leaf blower, lawn mover incl trimmer) since 2024. I am now at core #3 due to various issues (no problems with exchanging the cores) and the snow blower and lawn mower worked fine so far. The problems started when I tried to operate the trimmer (I bought it last year for this season). Here is my customer service nightmare: I kept getting error messages and the brand new trimmer never started to spin. I opened a ticked on May 25, 2026. On June 9, the Yarbo customer support informed me that the trimmer is broken and that I would get a new one. On June 12 I got a message that a "refurbished core" is on its way. After contacting the customer service again, they told me that it is a mistake and a trimmer will be shipped soon. On June 22, I reached out to Yarbo when the trimmer would ship ... later the same day I received a message from UPS that a shipment is on its way from "VOC-Jerry" and that I need to pay import fees for $103.97 ... I called UPS and they couldn't provide any details but recommended to cancel it if I do not know the sender ... which I did. Potential scam. On June 23, Yarbo send me a note informing me that the trimmer is on its way ... with the UPS tracking number I just canceled ... After countless emails back and forth they informed me that they can only send me a new trimmer in August 2026 and that they would give me 5,000 Yarbo points to compensate for the poor experience ... The points never made it into my account. On August 21, I received an automated pickup notification from Yarbo support ... I thought the trimmer is on its way and contacted them that I am still waiting for the trimmer ... and the points. After several email exchanges and trying to explain why I still do not have a trimmer ... I haven't received an update since August 28, 2026 ... Yarbo Support does not react to my requests about getting an update ... complete silence ... Today, is Sept 6, 2026. Would I buy a Yarbo again: No. Not because of the product. I love it but because of the terrible customer service. I hope this helps. Update on Sept 20, 2026: The Yarbo team managed to address all the issues I mentioned above in the meantime. I love their products and their customer service has dramatically changed since the beginning of Sept. Timely and transparent updates on what is happening, what to expect etc. Just how it should be. I understand from my the customer service contact at Yarbo that they have changed their processes based on this case. So, I trust such a case will not happen again. We started with the snow blower more than 2 years ago and in the meantime we own all their modules (Lawn mower, Trimmer, Leaf blower, Snow blower). I plan to upgrade to the Lawn mower Pro for the next season as we have a rough patch of grassland at the back of our property. They have been a game changer for us here in Alberta. We sold all our other equipment for snow removal and yard care (zero turn mower, snow blower etc). So, after the changes in their customer service, I can fully recommend Yarbo again.

Hi Marcus, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. We’re truly sorry for the frustration, confusion, and repeated follow-ups you had to go through while waiting for your replacement trimmer. After being so patient with us for several months, you deserved a much smoother and more consistent support experience. Since you posted this review, our team has continued working with you through your support ticket, and we’re glad that the replacement trimmer has now been shipped. We have also arranged compensation to acknowledge the inconvenience and frustration caused by the delays and communication issues throughout this process. We really appreciate that you continued to work with us and gave us the opportunity to make things right. It also means a lot to hear that, despite this experience, you still enjoy Yarbo and have had a positive experience with the product itself. We’ve shared your feedback internally, especially around communication, shipping updates, and follow-up consistency. We know that resolving the product issue is only part of good customer service — keeping you informed and supported throughout the process matters just as much. Thank you again for your patience and for giving us the opportunity to address this properly. Warm regards, Team Yarbo
